Cannot find executable job file RT_CONFIGxxxx

Post by mdbatra »

Hi All,

I was refreshing one category in Sys project from Prod but importing it throws an error "Cannot find executable job file RT_CONFIGxxxx". Tried deleting all jobs from this category before import still same error. Even tried compiling the affected the jobs but its ends up with error message "A call to on OLE server has failed, or a run time error occurred within the OLE server itself. Compilation failed - no other information provided. "

how to tackle this ?

Got a trivial workaround, but doable only if no. of jobs is not large, still worth sharing i guess.

Make a copy of job, rename older one to <actual_old(whatever)> , rename copy to <actual> and compile. it worked successfully -thank heavens no. of jobs in this particular category was just 9 8)

but would like to see a better technical answer if possible.

did you check if the server is not getting out of disk space?

Did you try re-indexing?

Hi Priyadarshikunal

The server has good amount of free space.
as already posted, got a workaround for now. would you mind elaborating a bit on re-indexing ?

These kind of problems are often related to the corrupt indices in UV or a part of information getting missed due to lack of space in installation directory. If it relates to the corrupt indices, you need to rebuild them.
As the Reindex name suggests, it will rebuild the indices in UV for that project. To reindex you need to make sure no one is connected to the server and then in administrator select the project the command and then run DS.REINDEX ALL click next or respond if you see prompts, then close at last.
